Carriers still break up messages if they're using SMS. Carriers and messaging apps have gotten better at concatenating long messages, which is why you're not seeing it anymore.

I think that applied back in the CDMA days. It could still be happening, but I don't see it when I text people or receive texts from Android users. I haven't seen broken up messages in years.
